Cooperation to Address Climate Change

China has been an important participant, contributor and leader in addressing climate change, proving its sense of responsibility as a major country.

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, China has deemed coping with climate change an inherent requirement and important opportunity for sustainable development at home, and adopted policies and measures to pursue green, low-carbon development. These include promoting ecological conservation, implementing the strategy of sustainable development, transforming the mode of production, adjusting economic, industrial and energy structures, and supporting renewable energies. China's efforts have led to notable progress in energy transformation: Its installed capacity of hydropower, wind power, and photovoltaic power generation all top the world, as does the scale of its nuclear power plants under construction.

China has employed such platforms as the Belt and Road Initiative, cooperation on industrial capacity, and South-South cooperation, and promoted cooperation with others, developing countries in particular, to address climate change for sustainable development together. Adhering to the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities," China has done a lot in the whole process where the Paris Agreement was reached, signed and put into effect. It has participated in the talks related to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and safeguarded the principles and framework of the Convention.

China has given strong backing to other developing countries in combatting climate change, and provided equipment and other aid in kind to island countries, least developed countries, African countries and other developing countries, as well as support to their participation in climate- related international talks, policy design, and personnel training. China is willing to work with others to build a planet where man co- exists with nature in harmony, and leaves a pleasant environment for sustainable development of future generations.

合作應(yīng)對氣候變化

在應(yīng)對氣候變化問題上，中國是重要的參與者、貢獻(xiàn)者、引領(lǐng)者，體現(xiàn)出大國擔(dān)當(dāng)精神。特別是黨的十八大以來，中國將應(yīng)對氣候變化的挑戰(zhàn)作為國內(nèi)實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展的內(nèi)在要求和重要機(jī)遇，實(shí)施了一系列政策措施和行動。比如，加強(qiáng)生態(tài)文明建設(shè)，實(shí)施可持續(xù)發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略，轉(zhuǎn)變生產(chǎn)方式，調(diào)整經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)、產(chǎn)業(yè)結(jié)構(gòu)、能源結(jié)構(gòu)，大力發(fā)展可再生能源等，走出了一條綠色低碳發(fā)展的道路。經(jīng)過不懈努力，中國在能源轉(zhuǎn)型方面取得顯著成就，水電、風(fēng)電、光伏發(fā)電裝機(jī)規(guī)模均居世界第一，核電在建規(guī)模為全球首位。除了在國內(nèi)推進(jìn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展方面的努力引人注目，中國還通過“一帶一路”倡議、產(chǎn)能合作、南南合作等平臺，積極推進(jìn)與各國特別是發(fā)展中國家在應(yīng)對氣候變化方面的合作，共同走可持續(xù)發(fā)展之路。中國堅持共同但有區(qū)別的責(zé)任原則，在《巴黎協(xié)定》達(dá)成、簽署、生效的過程中，發(fā)揮了重要作用。此外，中國還積極參與《聯(lián)合國氣候變化框架公約》談判進(jìn)程，堅定維護(hù)公約的原則和框架。支持發(fā)展中國家應(yīng)對氣候變化，為小島嶼國家、最不發(fā)達(dá)國家、非洲國家及其他發(fā)展中國家提供了實(shí)物及設(shè)備援助，對其參與氣候變化國際談判、政策規(guī)劃、人員培訓(xùn)等方面提供大力支持。中國愿同各國攜手前行，實(shí)現(xiàn)人與自然和諧共處，為后世子孫創(chuàng)造一個可持續(xù)發(fā)展的地球家園。
